Reborn Ancient Western Europe
Chapter 19 Vanners
The road was long, and Gray was blindfolded before leaving the door.He was helped by a maid and got into a carriage.
"Where's Prince Grace?" He turned his head and asked.
The maid replied cautiously: "He said that he is not suitable to appear on the occasion where you meet, so just let me accompany you."
A sneer appeared on Gray's lips, he turned his head in the direction of the maid, and asked, "What's your name?"
The maid hesitated for a while before replying, "My name is Amelia."
"Amelia?" Gray said the name.Then he asked, "So, Amelia, do you know who I am?"
Amelia was silent for a longer period this time, and suddenly said another irrelevant remark.
"My family is very poor."
Once the eyes are blind, the hearing is sharpened.Gray could easily hear the trembling in her voice, that kind of desperate courage, which cannot be faked.
Amelia's experience is also a typical representative of most maids.She was born in a small village near the imperial capital, without a father, only a mother and two younger brothers in the family.Although she was born in a poor family, Amelia was very beautiful and quite clever. She came to the imperial capital alone, tried various jobs, and finally became a maid.
The salary from her job as a maid is the main source of income for the whole family, plus the scattered income from odd jobs for her two younger brothers, the life can still be barely maintained.
However, Amelia, she wants to send her younger brothers to school.
In this world, education is an expensive expense, and at the same time, it is also the best stepping stone to another level.Even the most basic literacy can change a person's life.
"He gave me a sum of money, enough for my two younger brothers to finish all their studies. So, Master Gray, whether I know what I'm doing or not, I must do it too."
She has a certain quality that only certain girls can have. Although she looks soft and deceitful on the outside, she has a calmness that even men can't match.
The carriage wheel was moving slowly on the gravel road with slight bumps. The coachman raised his whip and gave a low scolding sound to control the direction of the horses.On both sides of the road, there were the cries of various vendors, and children running around, selling fruits and flowers.
Gray was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Amelia, is the maid who came with me still alive?"
Amelia paused for a long time, then slowly whispered, "I don't know that person."
"Since you don't know her, it's better for you not to wear that white silk flower anymore, Prince Grace, he is not as magnanimous as you think." Gray closed his eyes behind the blindfold and reminded lightly.
Amelia covered her mouth, and let out a low sob that couldn't be suppressed.
The carriage continued to drive, and the surrounding gradually became quiet, only the wind howling gradually.Gray felt that the carriage seemed to be climbing upwards, and the sense of bumps became stronger.When the carriage finally arrived at its destination, Gray couldn't help retching.
Amelia supported him, and after walking down a long flight of stairs, he stopped.
"We're here, Master Gray." She whispered, "I'll be waiting for you outside the door. If you need anything, just call me."
Gray nodded, fumbled the door open and walked in, then closed the door behind his back.
He took off the blindfold and slowly opened his eyes.There is no dazzling sunlight as imagined, and all the windows in this room are covered with thick curtains, and no light can penetrate.
Jon was standing in front of him, holding a lamp, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"I am glad to see that you are safe and sound, Master Gray." He bent down slightly, kissed Gray's forehead, and whispered: "I hope you are all right."
Gray wanted to say that I was fine, but his voice was blocked deep in his throat. He tried several times, but finally gave up.
He buried himself in Jon's arms, and said sullenly, "I'm very bad, Jon, I'm not good at all."
Jon sighed, patted him on the shoulder soothingly, and comforted him softly: "Be strong, Gray, I promise, everything will be fine."
Gray nodded, continued to bury himself in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay? Did he make things difficult for you?"
Jon hesitated slightly, but still said: "Please don't worry, I have nothing to do. But, I'm sorry, Master Gray, I wrote such a letter, Madam will be very sad."
Gray froze for a moment, looked up at Jon, but saw him blinking at him quickly.He quickly realized, and after being silent for a while, he said sadly: "It's not your fault, Jon, you don't have to feel sorry."
They were silent for a while, and when they spoke again, they changed the subject tacitly.They talked about irrelevant things, and the questions and answers were often irrelevant.
Jon said that he left Deimos City with Gray's grandfather when he was nine years old, first wandered around in the sea, and then followed him to the imperial capital.He said that when he saw Gray's father for the first time, he had a fight with him. As a result, both of them were reprimanded by Grandma Gray for half an hour.He said that the first love letter that Grey's father chased after Grey's mother was written by them staying together all night.
He said that more than half of the roses in the imperial capital were used for the wedding of Grey's parents. He said that when Grey was born, he was the first to hug Grey, because Grey's father fainted from excitement before he was born. .He said that the people of the Tislandi family had three meetings in order to come up with a name for Grey, and each time the result was that everyone huddled together under the table, and Grey's father was always the one who was beaten the hardest.
Gray said that he once suspected that Jon was his grandfather's illegitimate child, and then accidentally said that his grandmother grabbed his ears.He said that he was clinging to Jon that time because he broke his mother's most beloved tea set, so he ran to him for refuge.He said that his mother is actually an alien monster who breathes fire everywhere in the house, and only pretends to be a normal person in front of outsiders.He said that he and his grandfather were going to secretly introduce a girlfriend to him, but they were suppressed by grandma and mother monsters.
He said that there are many young noble ladies in the empire who want to ask Father Gray about Jon, and every time Father Gray will describe him as a person with some strange hobbies.After returning home, Gray's mother would punish him every time not to enter the bedroom, and then those noble ladies together with Grandma Gray would criticize him as useless from head to toe.
As he spoke, tears suddenly fell from his eyes.
Jon was obviously taken aback. He wiped his tears in a hurry, not knowing what to say.
"Jon, I'm really worried about you." Gray said sullenly, grabbing the corner of his clothes.He really couldn't imagine how he would bear it if something happened to Jon.
"Gerry." Jon sighed, running his fingers through his hair with gentle comfort. "I promise you, Gray, nothing will happen to me."
Gray shook his head, calmed down for a while, then raised his voice slightly and said, "Jon, I will miss you."
Jon smiled, lowered his head and kissed Gray lightly on the forehead.
"I will miss you very much too, Master Gray."
He watched Gray leave, then turned to look at the study door behind him, and said loudly, "Prince Grace, you can come out now."
Grace pushed open the door and walked out, looking at Jon expressionlessly.
"Since you have seen that Gray is safe and well, now, you should be able to tell me about that."
Jon smiled, sat down relaxedly, looked at Grace, and asked leisurely: "Prince Grace, to be honest, you really surprised me."
"Destroying the Sea Eagle is a very bold move. Even I have to admire your courage. But, before you did this, did you really leave yourself a retreat?"
Grace raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue.
Jon thought for a while, and suddenly asked a question. He knocked on the table and asked, "Prince Grace, how much do you think you know about the Vanners Kingdom?"
This is not such an easy question to articulate.The empire maintains a bunch of commissioners who specialize in dealing with matters related to the Vanners Kingdom. Even for them, every time they mention this country, they still feel a big headache.The richness and mystery of this country are equated, and its cautious attitude towards the outside world is also unimaginable to others.
"One thing, maybe you know. The imperial capital once had thirteen queens who were born in the kingdom of Vanus. Among the many royal families in the imperial capital that had members of the royal family of Vanus, there were indeed several queens who succeeded in inheriting the kingdom of Vanus. The existence of the Kingdom of Nas. But there is one fact, I think maybe you are not aware of it."
"Even if they successfully become the heirs of Van Nuss, none of them has ever truly obtained the supreme power of Van Nuss." He looked at Grace and continued to ask: "Prince Grace, you Do you think you will be the exception?"
Grace looked at him quietly for a while, his eyes so cold that they could freeze.
"You don't need to worry about it, you just need to tell me what happened to it."
Jon shook his head, tapped on the table, and said, "That matter is not important, Prince Grace, but maybe we can reach an agreement on another matter."
He was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Just like you, the Tislandi family also needs a chance."
At this time, Gray's carriage was driving on the road. When they finished the steep mountain road and passed through the woods, the church bell suddenly rang, and the distant sound passed through the valley, slowly passed on.
Gray listened carefully for a while, and the corners of his lips raised slightly involuntarily.He thought he knew where he was.
"Where's Prince Grace?" He turned his head and asked.
The maid replied cautiously: "He said that he is not suitable to appear on the occasion where you meet, so just let me accompany you."
A sneer appeared on Gray's lips, he turned his head in the direction of the maid, and asked, "What's your name?"
